Kitty.4806 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 I know legendary rune holders are getting progress toward legendary relics, but what about the players that have a bunch of expensive superior runes? Are my runes of tormenting suddenly going to be less useful? Do I now have to gain an additional item to make my build as good as it was before? Do we get some relics based on our current superior runes? Did I miss a post explaining this? 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additional relics will need to be, "earned." Superior Runes of Tormenting seem likely to retain all of the current stats/etc except the regeneration which is not particularly potent (especially compared to the pre-regeneration 6th tier benefit). Your build will be fine, particularly as there are likely to be relic bonuses superior to what Runes of Torment currently provide on the 6th tier.

Thank you for this, I'm still a bit frustrated they seem to be removing potency and replacing it with another item to get. Hopefully they add extra stats to rune 6 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuks.8241 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Rune of tormeting might even get better if the system works how we think it will. Youll be able to combine it with stronger than now 6th rune/relic bonus. But we all just speculate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A: Slot 6 will be another stat bonus. Some runes already have a stat bonus here, and those that don’t will have one added. So tormenting runes might actually get some condi damage added to the 6th bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoyingly, they might not as in the answer post they state that condition duration on the runes count as stat bonuses, I could be entirely wrong but it's quite likely that tormenting runes will just be +20% torment duration on the 6th slot. Quote What happens to rune slot 6? Slot 6 will be another stat bonus. Some runes already have a stat bonus here, and those that don’t will have one added. Quote What will happen for rune sets with a special ability on rune 2 and 4? Unique 2 and 4 slot bonuses will become raw stats. (Boon and condition duration increases are not considered unique and will not be removed from runes.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True enough. But in the new system we can use 6 runes and get more fitting relic bonus than the regen. Still bit sad about that change. It used to be so amazing with the base heal before they changed it to regen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
